Conan Rick's Investigator

The situation is close to getting out of control. Even with the addition of Qin Zhibo as a "pillar", it is difficult to stop the collapse of the building.

When the building collapses completely, there will just be one more innocent corpse.

Conan would never do such a thing.

"Don't notify Qin Zhibo, and don't notify anyone who has nothing to do with this matter."

"Just us, the relevant personnel..."

Conan felt heavy in his heart after making such a decision.

Because among the relevant people, Conan believes that his childhood sweetheart, Mao Li Ran, is included.

Thinking of this, Conan clenched his hands again until his fingertips turned red and white.

Dr. Agasa also saw that Conan had made up his mind, so he started calling Kudo Yusaku.

But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang by itself.

Jingle Bell--

In the quiet living room, the ringtone of the incoming phone seemed particularly ethereal.

Dr. Agasa and Conan were both alert, staring at the phone on the bar with vigilance.

Jingle Bell--

The same ringtone rang for the second time, and Conan immediately moved, crawling to the entrance, and jumped high to turn off the lights in the living room.

Jingle Bell--

In the dead silence and darkness, the bell rang for the third time, making people extremely uncomfortable, like a death note.

Conan, lying on the sofa, clenched his teeth.

hateful!

You found it so quickly!

Now that Haibara Ai has been captured, Dr. Agasa, who has been taking her in, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.

But Conan never expected that the Black Organization would react so quickly. In less than an hour, they figured out the relationship and came to him immediately.

Why don’t Japanese police have such action?

Conan slowly poked half of his head out from the armrest of the sofa and quietly observed whether there was any "death ray" emitted by the red dot sight in the living room.

Fortunately, the darkness in the living room is relatively pure and there are no red spots.

He knew Dr. Agasa's address, but instead of attacking, he made a phone call.

They probably want to meet and talk...

Although Conan doesn't know what bargaining chips he has to negotiate with the Black Organization, this may not be a breaking point.

Conan took a deep breath, walked straight to the phone at the bar, and answered the phone that had been ringing for a long time.

"Tell me..."

"time and location?"

Conan's voice was very soft, and he didn't even use the bow-tie voice changer. It wasn't that he forgot, but he really took the risk of going all out to deal with this call.

The appearance of fine cold sweat on the forehead is a normal physiological reaction.

However, just when Conan was on high alert, a voice came from the microphone that broke Conan's defense.

"Hello? Is this Dr. Agasa's house?"

"I'm Dr. Cheng Shi, whom you met a while ago..."

Chapter 379 Misunderstanding resolved

Dr. Chengshi?

Conan, holding the receiver, stood there in a daze, his face full of surprise.

It’s already this late, why did Dr. Cheng Shi suddenly call me?

Conan looked up at Dr. Agasa, but Dr. Agasa shook his head in confusion.

"Hey?"

"Excuse me, is anyone still there?"

Hearing Dr. Cheng Shi's questioning voice coming from the microphone, Conan had to hand the microphone to Dr. Agasa first, while making the shape of "dealing with her" with his mouth.

Conan's meaning was very clear. The Black Organization might attack at any time, so they had to settle the matter over the phone and couldn't let Dr. Cheng Shi come in person.

Dr. Agasa understood immediately and nodded, then picked up the phone.

"I'm Dr. Agasa, what can I do for you?"

"Well, the little girl who lives with you is in my hospital now..."

Before Cheng Shi could finish his words, Dr. Agasa immediately exclaimed, "What! Ai is with you!"

This made Conan, who was holding his chin up and thinking about how to fight the enemy, suddenly look up, with some hope in his eyes.

"Yes, the child's health condition is not good, but I have taken necessary measures."

"If it's convenient, please come to my hospital immediately..."

Dr. Agasa was so excited that he almost shed tears. He said excitedly: "It's convenient! It's convenient! We will be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Agasa immediately picked up his coat from the sofa and rushed to the yellow Beetle parked in the yard.

But as soon as he opened the car door, he found Conan standing at the entrance and did not follow him.

"Shinichi! Get in the car!"

However, Conan did not have the excitement and joy on Dr. Agasa's face. Instead, he frowned, looking worried and confused.

"Wait a minute, Dr. Agasa..."

"Don't you find it strange? Why is Haibara Ai at Dr. Cheng Shi?"

After hearing what Conan said, Dr. Agasa's scalp tightened, "Shinichi, what do you mean..."

"This might be a trap set by the organization to lure us over."

"Although you've been the one who's been taking in Haibara all this time, the first person who took her in for a short period of time was actually Doctor Chengshi."

"Those guys might have already found out about this relationship, found Chengshi Hospital, and then..."

Conan didn't say the rest of the words, but Dr. Agasa understood and swallowed the saliva that was secreted due to nervousness.

Although logically speaking, the Black Organization does not need to deal with Dr. Cheng Shi, who occasionally took in Haibara Ai, the problem lies in his identity as a doctor.

If he were a doctor, he might be able to discover some conditions of Haibara Ai during the physical examination.

I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go.

Considering how much importance the black organization attaches to this research, any channel that may leak information about Drug A must be erased.

So after Haibara was captured, Dr. Cheng Shi became one of the assassination targets of the Black Organization.

"Now what?"

Faced with Dr. Agasa's question, Conan was silent for a few seconds, but still made an extremely heavy decision.

"No matter what, we must first check on Dr. Cheng Shi's safety..."

"Let's go, Dr. Agasa..."

……

Cheng Shi's hospital and Dr. Agasa's home are both located in Beika-cho 2-chome, and they arrived nearby in a short drive.

In the left lane of the intersection, Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stuck half of his head out of the car window and carefully scanned the situation on the street where Chengshi Hospital was located.

The streets were very quiet late at night, with snowflakes flying under the street lights and a few cars parked sparsely on both sides.

"The windows of these cars are covered in snow, which means they have been parked here for a long time. They are not sent by the organization..."

Conan reasoned to himself while Dr. Agasa stepped on the accelerator and slowly moved deeper into the street.

Along the way, Conan was carefully watching for cars with no snow on their windows, especially the Porsche 356A.

Fortunately, Conan didn't find any suspicious vehicles all the way to the main entrance of the hospital.

"Dr. Agasa, please stay here first."

"I'll go in and take a look..."

Looking at Conan's fearless look, Dr. Agasa was a little moved.

"Shinichi, be careful..."

"Well, I will."

Conan nodded calmly, pushed the door and got out of the car.

Conan tiptoed to the hospital door and found that the door was not locked, revealing a gap that was tempting to go deeper.

Looking at the door handle that symbolized the watershed of fate, Conan still chose to put his hand on it and opened the door enough for him to get in.

Chengshi Hospital is currently closed, and there is no other light in the long corridor except for the emergency exit indicators at intervals.

Conan opened the cover-shaped sight of the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun and was ready to shoot at any time.

He walked in the dim corridor with bated breath, his arm raised so that the tranquilizer gun could be aimed at all times.

At this moment, Conan seems to be experiencing an immersive AR horror game.

After sneaking around for a while, Conan, who was suffering in the darkness, finally found a room with lights on.

Conan quickly tiptoed closer, leaned his body against the door frame, and slowly stuck his head into the room.

Under the dim bedside lamp, the figure on the sickbed looked a little small, but Conan recognized it immediately with the eye-catching brown hair.

Haiyuan!

Conan quickly put down the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun he was holding and ran over in two steps.

On the white hospital bed, Haibara Ai's body was covered with a thin quilt, and her exposed face and shoulders were either stuck or wrapped with bandages. Her face was calm, like a sleeping beauty who had been sleeping for a long time.

"Grey Yuan!"

"Grey Yuan!"

Conan shouted twice at the sleeping Haibara Ai, but did not wake her up.

At this time, a figure stood quietly behind Conan.

"The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet..."

Startled by the sudden voice coming from behind, Conan subconsciously turned around and raised the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun in his hand at the target behind him.

"do not move!"

Looking at Conan's sudden overreaction, Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand in a cute gesture.

"I won't move..."

When Conan saw clearly that the person behind him was Dr. Cheng Shi, he was also stunned.

……

"Uh-uh-"

"How can I live without you! Ai--"

In front of the bed, Dr. Agasa lay on the small quilt covered by Haibara Ai, crying heart-wrenchingly.

After spending some time together, Dr. Agasa has completely regarded this taciturn little girl as his own family.

If he really lost Haibara Ai and returned to the deserted and quiet mansion of the past, Dr. Agasa would really not be able to accept it.

This is how people are, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Conan glanced at Dr. Agasa who was expressing his true feelings, and first showed his crescent eyes helplessly, but then, he also showed a knowing smile.

At first, Conan thought that Dr. Cheng Shi was being threatened at gunpoint by the Black Organization, which was why he made that call.
